Wonder if it's still the case in > 2.1. It is still the case. It turns out it has to do with the babel definition for French. Take a look at ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/tex/CTAN/language/babel/contrib/frenchb/frenchb.pdf See section 2.11: In French the first paragraph of each section should be indented, this is another difference with US-English. I'm not sure how LyX could know this. We could make a list of how things currently are in babel and hope the indentations don't change often. Parsing the language definition files is probably overkill. Scott
